@rahuldottech Sorry, replied to the wrong person.

Never mind. I suppose you're talking about World.

Michael Frank

Bleh...

Ended up spending WAAAAAAAYYYY longer on that job than we should have.

How many switch ports would you decide to test before you decided the PC was at fault?

Bob

@MichaelFrank 0

I trust the switch more usually

check cable, check patch panels, check pc ... maybe check switch config ... switch hardware? nah

Michael Frank

Yea, we trusted 2 switch ports. Turns out they were both either faulty or misconfigured. The 3rd eventually proved useful, but not until after we had completely replaced the PC and rebuilt it. :|

sooooo the PTA who i'm helping out with things computery related

currently got website hosted on wordpress.com it seems

]Now, can I 'download' a backup? (I've not even logged in yet so sorry if this is a stupid question)

Burgi

you can export the data

WP.com sites are a bitch iirc

Burgi

13:19

This sounds really interesting

Journeyman Geek

@Burgi they essentially turn your cvv into a one time pin

Burgi

yeah

its a nice idea

djsmiley2k

@JourneymanGeek a plugin?

Journeyman Geek

For your own wp install. Not useful here

djsmiley2k

13:37

Ah ok

I'm just worried about changing something, and it breaking, and not knowing how to fix it

bwDraco

Stack Overflow & InfoJobs: Bringing Opportunities to Developers in Spain

Sean Bave on January 31, 2019

Stack Overflow and InfoJobs are partnering to bring more job opportunities to the developer community in Spain. Since we launched Stack Overflow Jobs in 2009, its mission has been to connect developers to the right job opportunities. We do this by focusing on the developer experience, empowering job searchers with criteria tailored to technical roles, and leveraging our analytics to match developers to jobs based on criteria such as location and technology.

But occasionally, developers around the world don’t see enough jobs tailored to them. That’s why we’re so excited to be partnering with InfoJobs. …

@JourneymanGeek does SuperUser have site-specific swag?

I'm filling out the SE swag form and can't figure it out

Alsoooooo

Goddamn, this thread is so wholesome: reddit.com/r/RoastMe/comments/alo3ao/…

@Burgi @FMLCat was online a few days ago (and is pingable)

Canadian Luke

17:35

Holy crap! People use ask.com to search?!?

@Burgi So should we tell them we can read the CC number?

rahuldottech

@CanadianLuke only those who got it through malware and can't figure out how to remove it

Canadian Luke

But... Those would be the people I don't want reading my blog... O.O

@rahuldottech yes. I am told they have the old old old hoodies and skeins

The white t shirts are original run probably and the material is a bit better

Michael Frank

I have a white t-shirt from the Windows 8 event.

rahuldottech

YOU CAME!?!?

Nordlys Jeger

Why yes, I did.

rahuldottech

This guy. This guy comes.

How often do you come?

Nordlys Jeger

21:06

I come at least once a week to work

Canadian Luke

@rahuldottech That's awesome! We're using it all over my work

Nordlys Jeger

Sometimes more, sometimes less

rahuldottech

@CanadianLuke cool! I've never actually used it (because I own only one printer), but never bothered to uninstall, lol

Canadian Luke

Hey, I need a software recommendation for modeling an Active Directory domain, without the domain being setup already. Does anyone know how to do so, quickly? I don't want to be dragging and dropping or copying and pasting for EVERYTHING

My new site has about 9 large copiers, and about 20 smaller printers. However, the previous tech only installed the printers as they were being requested, so I'm taking that approach now

Besides, I don't expect it to be a daily program... Just an easier interface

@CanadianLuke That dude sucks

I'm wondering if we should look into changing this? I'm not too sure if this is okay under the current CoC...

Canadian Luke

... Unless, it's only like that to Mods? o.O

rahuldottech

21:57

@bwDraco IMO, it's totally cool

It's cleeeearly a joke

And while it can be unfunny depending on context, it's not something a reasonable person would get offended over.

Canadian Luke

I'm a reasonable person... And I'm offended that you're offended over my lack of offence!

bwDraco

You know what I'd like to see? Improving the flag-handling dialog to allow users to quickly see context. Because I see lots of flags just blindly agreed with when they really should be counterflagged.

Canadian Luke

For Chat?

bwDraco

Yes.

rahuldottech

@CanadianLuke I'm reasonably offended that you consider yourself reasonable. It's unreasonable to expect humans to act reasonably reasonable in (un)reasonable situations.

Canadian Luke

22:01

@bwDraco When I see chat flags, I always go to the room before deciding on anything, to get context. Hopefully, other mods do as well

@rahuldottech I'm flattered you are offended that I consider myself reasonable. It's reasonable to expect humans to act unreasonable in reasonable situations.

DavidPostill

@rahuldottech Yes. There's a mug and a rather large beer glass (both of which I got for my 100K swag).

rahuldottech

@DavidPostill Cool. Here's what JNat had to say about it:

> We have a few things in stock for SU, yeah. Not many, and all pretty old (by which I mean it's an old design, etc.), though — be advised! :P

Thoughts on this product?

amazon.in/Frackson-150Ft-Extension-Extender-Adapter/dp/…

Advertises USB over ethernet

bertieb

22:30

I have one of those

Might even have it to hand

What would you intend to use it for?

Canadian Luke

@rahuldottech We use USB extenders all the time... But holy crap, $429?!? That is quite steep

rahuldottech

@bertieb Experimentation, playing around for fun

@CanadianLuke INR, not usd

That's <7 USD

Nordlys Jeger

I didn't use this device but USBoE to tunnel USB over the Internet so I think that's believable

bertieb

Canadian Luke

Yes, that would make more sense... Lol

rahuldottech

22:33

@bertieb oooh do you have a multimeter on hand and some free time?

bertieb

@rahuldottech Actually, yes

Anything for a revision break

2 ticks

rahuldottech

omg omg omg I need to sleep and then go give an exam, but in about 36 hours or so?

bertieb

(will this involve finding the other transceiver..?)

rahuldottech

Uhhh not really

bertieb

Ah cool

Yeah 36 hours should be no problem

rahuldottech

22:35

great :)

bertieb

I'll have a wee look for the other half regardless

Should really be kept together

The meter I have is a cheapy brand, will that affect things?

rahuldottech

nup

Just need estimate values till mine arrives

After which you can partake in my experiments and hacks halfway around the world if you so wish

bertieb

Sure thing 👍

Ha, cool :D

rahuldottech

hmmm. Is my English getting wonky? I need sleep.

bertieb

Makes perfect sense
